Chara vs. Ovechkin, the matchup continues over the pond

Watch Lev vs. Dynamo Moscow on ESPN2 and ESPN3 Tuesday, October 9, 2012 at 1:00 PM ET



What do we know about Lev? Lev means Lion in Slavic languages. Who from NHL is playing there?

23 forward Bartecko, Lubos 14.07.1976 Slovakia
21 forward Klepis, Jakub 05.06.1984 Czech Republic
12 forward Novotny, Jiri 12.08.1983 Czech Republic
33 defense Chara, Zdeno 18.03.1977 Slovakia
81 forward Hossa, Marcel 12.10.1981 Slovakia
41 defense Skoula, Martin 28.10.1979 Czech Republic

Obviously the most famous is Zdeno Chara. Poor Ovi has to play against him again. The happiness was so close, but Chara just signed. And Jakub Klepis is a former Capitals player.

USA Today, November 18, 2006:

"Jakub Klepis and Alexander Ovechkin had goals for the Capitals, who have lost a season-high three straight."
